Ow!

Pierce hammered his chest, "I have experienced bloody battles, even if it's just on the court."

After being slashed 11 times, he suddenly felt very honored. After eating Jackson raw, he roared, "There is something to guard against me."

Halftime was coming to an end, and the Celtics suddenly set off a scoring frenzy.Antoine Walker and Pierce scored consecutively. In just 3 minutes, they scored 11 points, evening the difference between the two teams, with a surplus of 2 points.

Now, the Celtics have led the Eagles by 2 points and their morale is booming.

"The Celtics are in the East, and their record is second only to the Nets. They are very strong." Smith watched the Celtics' strong performance with appreciation, "Moreover, the combination of Antoine Walker and Pierce is also very strong in the league. It's hard to come up against opponents. If they want to score, they can score."

The same is true, the Eagles have a hard time stopping them.Especially after the lack of Rasheed Wallace, the inside weakness was completely exposed in this game.

Antoine Walker was unstoppable, and Jim O'Brien realized that, from the position of power forward, he opened the eagle's defensive gap.

Less than halftime, Walker has scored 20 points, which is extremely vigorous.Driven by him, Pierce also scored 11 points.

Of course, McGrady has scored 26 points alone, and the Hawks' scoring points are relatively concentrated.The second highest score is Terry's 18 points, and Billups only has 10 points, but he also got 6 assists, which is still stable.

"The Eagles are in trouble. They can't defend Walker. If Ben appears at the power forward position, Batty can play at the center position, especially Pierce's impact on the penalty area, which can bring damage."

Laettner and AC Green, even Ewing, can't stop the Celtics.

McGrady's eyes changed and became more deserted. He watched Pierce break through and dunk, and a flame ignited in his heart.

Patting Jackson on the shoulder, "Leave this person to me, you guard against others."

"Boss Mai..." Jackson relaxed all the pressure. The boss wants to go out in person. All he needs is to appear in the open position and throw the transmitted ball into the basket.

Billups felt McGrady's change and advanced with the ball.Wait until McGrady appears in a comfortable position, and immediately give the ball to McGrady.

McGrady grabbed the ball with one hand and stood proudly facing Pierce's defense.

"Pull away!"

It was a mutual response between the bosses of the team.Even if Pierce is not the boss, but he just did the boss thing, McGrady must hold him down.

The players opened up the space, and Ben also moved to the baseline. He knew McGrady's habits, and no matter what, he would appear in the right position.

"Come on, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Pierce was very excited.He hopes to beat McGrady in a head-to-head confrontation.

Even though he has been taught by McGrady several times today, he never tires of it and provokes McGrady again.

"Jackson can't defend Pierce. Pierce's body is too strong. Although Jackson is very strong, he is not as good as Pierce in physical confrontation. Looking at McGrady's posture, in addition to attacking Pierce on offense, he will also choose to defend Pierce on the defensive end." Barkley is sure that he likes McGrady like this, full of the aura of the team leader.

If you can't score, I'll score; if you can't defend your opponent, I'll defend.As long as my teammates can't do it, I will show you first.Such a player, who dare not be convinced?
"Yes, Answer ball, it depends on how McGrady masters it." Smith was very excited, staring at the court.

Today is a live broadcast across the United States, and everyone will lift their spirits.The Eagles took the lead at the start, then the two teams took the lead alternately, and now they are facing behind again, the game is very anxious.

McGrady holds the ball in both hands, shoulders down, and makes a dry pull. Pierce leans forward, ready to take off, but he has reservations. McGrady is very likely to be a fake move.

Sure enough, it was a fake move. McGrady saw Pierce leaning forward, dribbling the ball, striding, and killing him with one step.Pierce's body was torn apart in an incredible way.

The ankles were hot, but somehow they kept up with McGrady's rhythm.Unexpectedly, McGrady didn't rush towards the penalty area, and suddenly leaned against Pierce.

Pierce had no choice but to fight hard against McGrady's own singles.

"This guy, when did he learn how to play with his back?" Pierce couldn't rely on his body to defend McGrady, so he stepped back a bit, pushing forward with force.

The two secretly competed.McGrady was struggling, and his movements were adjusted again. His footsteps were swaying, and he dribbled the ball behind his back.

Seeing that both Walker and Batty are stuck inside, there is no room for impact.

McGrady made a decisive decision, taking advantage of the moment Pierce leaned forward, he jumped up and made a mid-range shot.At this time, Joe Johnson leaped from the side.

Long arms, ready for a nice block.

"Not good! Why did McGrady stop..." Joe Johnson suddenly thought something was wrong, and he couldn't control his arm, so he hit it directly.

The moment McGrady stayed in the air, he used a small throwing posture and threw the ball into the basket. At the same time, he was hit on the wrist by Joe Johnson.

beep!
The referee blew his whistle again. It was too obvious that this was a thug foul.

Pierce pursed his lips and pinched Joe Johnson's neck, "I guarded against this man, you are troublesome."

This is also to teach the younger brother that he has been tricked into a foul by McGrady.It's Pierce's fault if he can't prevent it, but if someone next to him helps, he will be laughed at.Because just now, it was a duel between stars, Answer ball.

Sure enough, McGrady's trash talk followed, and he glanced at Pierce, "So, you need help. Tell me sooner! I don't need to waste my energy."

Stepping up to the free throw line, looking at Joe Johnson, "Rookie, welcome to the NBA."

Swish!
In Johnson's curse, McGrady made a supplementary penalty.It seems that his curse has not been fulfilled.

Another three-pointer was successful, and McGrady made a shot himself to overtake the score again.

However, Antoine Walker crushed Ben, kept moving, and soon exceeded the score. At the end of the half, the two teams scored alternately, and each shot was the most confident point.

"Guys, this is the intensity of the playoffs." Carlisle communicated with the two assistant coaches Stotts and Thibodeau. "If we can survive this kind of game, our chemical reaction will be even better."

In the last attack of the half, McGrady didn't make a shot.Passed to Billups again, Billups made a coquettish move, in the middle of a breakthrough, passing the ball without looking at the person, blinding the defender's eyes.

The ball goes to Stephen Jackson, who is lurking on the bottom line.Jackson has been lurking for several rounds without a chance to make a phone call. Joe Johnson is tall and long, which makes him very uncomfortable.

Now, Johnson's attention is on the inside, just emptying Jackson.Raising your hand is not a very good-looking posture, but it is steady.

The angle, strength and hardness are all just right, just insert it.

The net was inserted by a basketball, and it bounced into a beautiful shape, round, big, full of water and water.

At the end of the half, 62:61, the battle with a big score, the Eagles temporarily lead by 1 point.

However, O'Brien is full of confidence. He knows that the Celtics have an advantage in the second half, and their inside advantage will explode.Because AC Green, Ewing, including Laettner, are all veterans, it is impossible to last for a long time.

Relying on a big book alone can't prevent it.
